B.A. vs. B.S. for Undergraduate Study

I am starting my undergraduate studies this fall, and will be majoring in Biochemistry. My current planned course sequence will lead to a B.A. degree. I am considering going to graduate school for biochemistry. I am confident my undergraduate education will be rigorous in preparing me for this, but am wondering if the B.A. (rather than a B.S.) could negatively impact me in terms of application, lab placement, etc.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

Doesn't matter at all. Different schools, and different programs within the same school, have entirely different ways of deciding what is a BA and what is a BS. Nobody pays attention to it.
